The Brief
- Flavio Bolsonaro reached Miami after losing Brazil's presidential race.
- He faced legal challenges and was ordered to surrender his passport.
- U.S. authorities are expected to grant him entry visas.
Flavio Bolsonaro, the son of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaros, has arrived in the United States. His arrival follows his defeat in Brazil's presidential election.
Bolsonaro had been ordered by a court to surrender his passport earlier this week, but he disappeared, leading to speculation about his flight to the U.S.
Bolsonaro claimed on Monday that he had no intention of leaving Brazil and intended to hand over his passports to defend himself against legal actions.
He ran on a populist platform and was widely expected to win the election but was defeated by leftist incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
Pictures show Bolsonaro disembarking from a plane at Opa-locka Executive Airport near Miami, Florida.
The U.S. government is expected to grant him entry visas, which may strain relations between the U.S. and Brazil.
